Goalkeepers

Joe Willis kept a strong Philadelphia Union side off the scoresheet last round, racking up his league-leading fifth clean sheet of the season in the process. Next up is an Atlanta United side that are winless in six and have been shutout in three straight matches. The Five Stripes will be missing several key players and are the team to pick on until they can get back on track.

Defenders

Daniel Lovitz played an integral role in Nashvilleā€™s shutout win over Philadelphia, and up next he faces a reeling Atlanta United attack. If youā€™re stretched for salary, consider Jack Maher ($5.0) who has averaged eight fantasy points per game since cracking the starting lineup three games ago.

Midfielders

Carles Gil was kept in check by Columbus in Week 10, but heā€™s in a good bounce-back spot at home against a Toronto FC side that was thumped 7-1 by D.C. United last time out. Gil continues to lead the league with 10 assists on the season and he has scored or assisted in each of his last four appearances at Gillette Stadium.

Forwards

Raul Ruidiaz will look to get back on track after managing just one shot in last weekā€™s 1-1 draw with Colorado. Heā€™s back at home where heā€™s scored a goal in back-to-back games, managing a game-high five shots in each match. The Dynamo are winless on the road in 2021 and have just one shutout on the season (5/12 vs. Sporting KC).
